I like the concept and goofiness, I had fun. But there is a lack of sounds, I think if there were some sounds or narrator it would be much better. Still, as I said, I had fun and It was a nice experience! :)

Yeah I have a newer version to upload after the voting period with soundfx, music and other changes, Thanks for playing and more importantly the feedback.

Do other countries have pepas too? liked the character desing, not a fan of how tall the cyclops are. Cyclopses? Cyclopsi.

Developer

Not exactly, we have danishes, but that looks delicious. Lol yeah *Cyclopes/Cyclopses are annoying. Thank you so much for playing

Nice little platformer game with nice visuals, like some people has commented here, could use the music and sound effects to feel less boring to play and could fit the theme if use the right audio, and I think the upward speed of character jumping can be faster since I would think players normally jump over obstacles when they are near enough, instead of "pre-calculating" the distance and momentum to avoid obstacles. Overall, good entry!

I added an intro scene, sound effects and music but have to waiting until after the voting period too update. But really appreciate you playing

Nice, simple game.  However with music, the theme could really change. And having multiple enemy designs doesn't work if they all do the same thing.

Developer

Thanks for trying it out, yes wanted to add music and sounds but ran out of time, and about the enemies very true like I said wanted to do more, appreciate the feedback and really appreciate you playing.

Nice game! I liked the pixel art, smooth platforming controller aswell:)

Developer

Thanks for playing

What a joy! The custom pixel art and the variety of enemy sprites is easily the best part!

Next time, maybe you can look into some ways to make the platforming gameplay feel a bit better, like adding coyote jumps, jump buffering, and making the jump feel a little less floaty?

Either way, loved the theme and the art!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback

I really liked the character design. Adding some music, sound effects, and even a simple background would make the game feel much more alive and immersive.

Also, the blue guy is hard to jump over lol.

Yeah ran out of time unfortunately, thank you for playing and for the feedback

Enjoyment: The stages had a very nice play-length to keep things interesting and not repetitive, easy controls and no complicated mechanics allowed swift entry into gameplay.

Gameplay: Solid implementation of classic platformer mechanics, interesting choice having particle effect for the solid bridges.

Innovation: As mentioned in gameplay, the used mechanics are platformer classics, the joke in the tutorial was a nice addition.

Theme: Certainly a strange place we get to visit in this game, solid interpretation of the theme.

Visuals: I enjoyed the consistancy and quality of the art - really liked the player character and animation.

Audio: No rating possible here - either my system was bugged or the sound was missing.

Additionally I noticed a bug, if you press the options button in the main menu, the game seems to crash. Maybe something to fix for the grace period?

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for the feedback and trying my game entry.

There are no sounds, music or option controls at the moment will add later.

The bridges are made of biscuit so they are crumbling :)

Appreciate you taking the time to try it.
